Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 box 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
- Set your oven to preheat at 350℉. Thoroughly grease and lightly flour a 10-inch bundt pan, then place it aside.
- In a large bowl, blend the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer, mixing until the texture becomes airy and pale. Pause to scrape the bowl’s sides for an even blend.
- Crack in the eggs, one at a time, beating slowly after each addition to maintain a consistent batter.
- Incorporate the vanilla extract, then continue to mix until fully combined.
- Add in both the sour cream and milk, beating to integrate smoothly.
- Gradually add the flour and yellow cake mix, stirring until a uniform batter is achieved.
- Transfer the batter into your prepared bundt pan and place it in the oven. Bake for approximately 70 minutes.
- At the 40-minute mark, inspect the cake. If browning occurs too quickly on the top, loosely tent a sheet of aluminum foil over the pan to shield it from direct heat.
- The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a rack or platter. Slice once cool and serve as desired.
